ARLINGTON – Judy Fay and Marc Rosson were sworn in as new board members at the Dec. 11 Arlington Public Schools directors meeting.

Fay represents district Area 3, north and west of Arlington, including Bryant and Silvana. Rosson represents Area 5, which includes parts of Gleneagle and Sisco Heights. Fay defeated incumbent Ursula Ghirardo in the recent election, while and Rosson replaces Bob McClure, who stepped down.

Fay taught in all of Arlington’s grade schools over her 31-year teaching career. She has lived in Bryant for 41 years and volunteers in her grandchildren’s classrooms. “I am an advocate of public education and will strive to strengthen and expand opportunities for students, parents and teachers as we work together to raise successful, thoughtful thinkers,” she said in a district news release.

Rosson has worked in the public sector for 20 years, leading information technology departments and long-range planning efforts. He is the treasurer for the Arlington High School Booster Club, supports the AHS drama and music programs, and coaches his son’s basketball team.

“I believe that our schools are most successful when there is a strong partnership between the community and schools. Whether you have children in the district or not, we all benefit when our schools are thriving,” he said.
